Anglia Labels appoints David Richards as Managing Director

Anglia Labels is pleased to announce the appointment of David Richards as Managing Director, effective 1 June 2026.

David joins the Suffolk-based label manufacturer with 26 years of experience in the self-adhesive label industry, bringing extensive expertise in digital printing, technical innovation, customer partnership and business development.

He joins Anglia Labels from Amberley Labels, where he spent the past 13 years, most recently serving as Managing Director. Prior to this, David held the position of General Manager at Baker Labels for eight years and earlier roles with Avery Dennison and Jac Paper.

David’s appointment marks an exciting new chapter for Anglia Labels as the business continues to invest in innovation, operational excellence and long-term growth.

Sophy Moynagh, Executive Director and owner of Anglia Labels, said:

“I am delighted to welcome David to Anglia Labels as our new Managing Director.

David brings a wealth of industry knowledge and leadership experience, alongside a deep understanding of digital print, technical innovation and customer partnerships. His appointment is not a change of direction for Anglia Labels — it is an acceleration of it.

We share the same values around customer partnership, innovation and operational excellence, and I am looking forward to working together to build the next chapter in Anglia Labels’ 46-year history.”

David Richards added:

“I am incredibly excited to be joining Anglia Labels as Managing Director from 1 June.

Anglia Labels has built a fantastic reputation for quality, service and technical expertise, and I am looking forward to working closely with Sophy and the wider team to help drive the business forward. There is a real opportunity to build on the strong foundations already in place, continue investing in innovation, and strengthen partnerships with both existing and new customers.

I’m also very much looking forward to reconnecting with many industry contacts in this new role.”

Founded over four decades ago, Anglia Labels has built a strong reputation for producing high-quality self-adhesive labels for a wide range of sectors, combining technical expertise with a customer-focused approach. The appointment reflects the company’s continued commitment to growth, innovation and delivering exceptional service to its customers.
